International Studies

The International Studies program (ITS) is an interdisciplinary major in the Department of Global and Intercultural Studies in the College of Arts and Science. Students can earn a Bachelor's degree (BA) in International Studies. We believe that most global problems and issues are too complex to be understood through a single disciplinary perspective. Students learn about the world through a multiplicity of lenses. All of our students are expected to study abroad.
